Ah, brilliant. I figured with the ID tag system that this was a no-go. Now, of course, I'll forget the ones I was bemoaning the absence of yesterday...

No fear, I am adaptable.

Thanks. I tend to not notice these polls until dire circumstances. I will enjoy watching animation films I've never seen before because of this poll

(actually I'm overspeaking, it doesn't claim he wrote A Grand Day Out, which was Nick Park's student film)

yeah I was also hallucinating another short between Grand Day Out and Wrong Trousers. in other news, holy crap how did he get so good so fast?

i started watching a bunch last night... a lot of these are really scary and/or depressing.

so far it's looking like my ballot will prolly be leaning more towards 50s/60s/70s/80s stuff...

this thread needs some links to get people excited........... i forgot how to post youtube without embedding

billstevejim, Friday, 22 June 2012 04:23 (11 months ago) Permalink

using the youtu.be links works…I really ought to have harvested links to shorts from the nomination thread (there are lots of links to the nominations in the nomination thread!) but I didn't have quite that level of commitment to copy-pasting things.

I would encourage anyone with the time to please watch the Sally Cruikshank films, Quasi at the Quackadero and Make Me Psychic. They're something like Fleischers done in the seventies, with music by R. Crumb's backing band and mostly animated (over a period of years) by Cruikshank alone. Particularly with the former, there's something richly nostalgic going on amidst all the weird cartoon geekery in the carnivalesque encounters with possible pasts and futures, huckster'd or otherwise. Make Me Psychic increases the pace does better in terms of sheer goofy cartooniness without going into hyperdrive like the remarkable but sort of opaque Face Like a Frog (1987).

I found "Augusta Feeds Her Child" though I don't remember it having this terrible music.

There's no way I'll have time to vote after tonight, so I've thrown together a rushed, conventional ballot. Everybody vote!

Biff Wellington (WmC), Monday, 25 June 2012 00:25 (11 months ago) Permalink

Got my shortlist down to 60. I suspect that Chuck Jones is going to suffer from vote splitting.

Due to work hilarity I'm off tomorrow - accepting any recommendations for non MM / LT stuff to watch.

Also a reminder that you should all watch The Wrong Trousers if you have a spare 30 minutes and would like to vote for the winner.

Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 28 June 2012 10:41 (10 months ago) Permalink

so wait there's no simple alphabetized list of all the nominations?

Voting may be extended, by the way, due to a family situation. But to be safe get those ballots in!

silby - sry to be a zero-hour dude this time around, but I'm afraid its looking like that will be the case. Are you taking ballots through tomorrow night & into the wee hours on Saturday, or does this shit need to be in by midnight, etc. what what?

mister would you please herp my brony (Pillbox), Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:58 (10 months ago) Permalink

Do what you feel; I am gonna be super preoccupied this weekend so results could well be delayed till the middle of next week. Don't agonize about the deadline.

"Holy crap," I mutter, as he gently taps my area (silby), Thursday, 28 June 2012 22:00 (10 months ago) Permalink

Do you have a respectable # of ballots so far?

Biff Wellington (WmC), Thursday, 28 June 2012 22:17 (10 months ago) Permalink

Am unlikely to get to processing votes before Tuesday, so consider this a soft extension.

Mordy, Friday, 29 June 2012 17:53 (10 months ago) Permalink

Nom is for the original short as produced for an anthology show and made popular on YouTube.

ballot sent. 4 ghibli, 4 pixar, 4 aardman/park, a random grab-bag of 24 other assorted weirdnesses.

Jesu swept (ledge), Saturday, 30 June 2012 09:06 (10 months ago) Permalink

Ballot questions:

1. How rigid is the format of a single line? Is the minimum info that we need simply the ID number?

2. What if we want to vote for something not on the nom list? Just put the title and any additional identifying info (e.g. year, director)?
